A lot of natives are dying as well due to not having much contact with the outside world. Some uncontacted natives may have it but we'll not know unless we disrupt their way of life. Due to Brazil restricting people doing things, this encourages illegal loggers too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah man, loved him when I was going through my UKHH phase. He was always in Roots Manuva's shadow as the "other" Big Dada rapper, but he had a great flow and some proper bangers in his back catalogue.

Notorious Russian Orthodox Cleric Dmitry Smirnov (he's barmier than Fred Phelps, Jerry Falwell and Ian Paisley put together) has the 'rona. He has called cohabitating women "unpaid prostitutes" and even celebrated the use of nuclear weapons. Another infamous clergyman named Vsevolod Chaplin has kicked the bucket due to a heart attack this January. Russian actress Tatiana Vasilieva has the rona too. On the lighter note, legendary Russian singers Lev Leshchenko and Nadezhda Babkina (they're both in their 70's) have recovered from COVID-19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
